  1. Bought an amp from Tim. with goods going the other way in part trade.
    Goods better than described , very low cost and speedy delivery by UPS
    Very trustworthy and I would have no hesitation in dealing with Tim again
    All the best

  2. Hi , sorry to break up the Overwater Hard-on party.
    Looking for a bit of info from the Tanglewood/Overwater guys.
    My son has aquired a Tanglewood Bass for next to nothing
    It is a Tanglewood TEB 4 string active, 5 knobs, one is a pull boost
    2 Bartolino style, EMC pickups
    Natural finish, looks like rosewood board, 24 frets
    Both guitar, headstock and fretboard inlays look very similar to a schecter stiletto.
    Anybody any info on this model which seems rare as rocking horse doo daa.
    One of the main questions is , can it be gigged with these EMC pick ups.
    Any info on this model would be gratefully received
    Thank you in advance
    Mick

  4. Rodney the Plonker
    As a retired bass player of over 18 years I never had any contact with a 5 string
    or even a four sring as it happens . So when I seen them on stage I automatically assumed that
    the extra string was on the high side of G not on the low side E
    So one night I asked a 5 string bass player through a drunken haze how he tuned his 5th string
    to a C or did he drop it to B like a 6 string guitar.
    I now understand why he looked at me as if I was from Mars.
    I have since borrowed a 5 string ibanez srx and found what is now termed as the sloppy B
    Totally unimpressed with this floppy B, I purchased a set of 6 string bass strings and
    used the top 5 and tuned the guitar
    E-A-D-G-C
    very interesting but still having difficulty with the tighter fimgerboard
    I suppose there is a case for both as I noticed that there are far more tuning variations
    like the Ibanez Mike D'antonio set up and the biffy clyro "Many of Horrors" ect ect
    I voted no but I am a plonker as previously stated
